at cyprus there was a big variation in the standard of judging, it was on occasion pretty dodgy.... . I'm not a judge and I`m sure they were under pressure and tired etc but that is the way it was, as anyone who was there will tell you.
further more the red, yellow , white card system is unworkable in a competition of that size. Imaging going back and viewing all those tapes for 160 athletes each night. I believe the judging for Cyprus Reloaded will be much more black and white ie. a decision will be made pool side and it will stick... no tape viewing, appeals etc. So the judges are going to have to be consistent this time.
(This isn`t offical just monkey gossip)
The divers who were having to appeal because they fumbled taking their mask off or looked a bit bug eyed might have a bigger problem next time? There will be good and bad decisions by the judges just like any other sport I guess.
